You have constant access to Superman's powers including heat vision, freeze breath, invulnerability and flight at supersonic speeds, though the former two are limited by a stamina bar.
Unusually for this genre, Superman himself does not take damage and the challenges are all built around saving others from harm.
Combat is accomplished through melee (you learn new combos as you progress in the game) as well as direct application of Superman's heat vision and freeze breath.
Additionally, you may pick up objects, from the Daily Planet globe to tanker trucks, to throw at villains.
You can also rip down a lamppost and use it as a club.
Metropolis is presented as a wide open world where you can fly anywhere and perform any of the side missions at any given time.
Besides the main story missions, there are 200 kittens to rescue and many fires to put out.
The basic game is broken up a bit with two rather different sequences.
There is a race around the city against Myxyzptlk and a Bizarro mode, in which you must destroy the city.
About Xbox
Microsoft's original Xbox (2001) marked the company's first console and stood out for its built-in hard drive and Xbox Live service, which laid the groundwork for modern online console gaming. Original Xbox discs are prone to wear, so complete, undamaged copies — especially of the system's more niche or Japan-only titles — are less common than the console's overall sales figures might suggest.
Gamevaro tracks Superman Returns: The Videogame for Xbox with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Superman Returns: The Videogame to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This XBOX release dates back to 2006.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Superman Returns: The Videogame, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Xbox titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
